From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)
Then to the office a little, and so to Lumberd street to borrow a little money upon a tally, but cannot. Thence to Exchequer, and there after much wrangling got consent that I should have a great tally broken into little ones. Thence to my Lord Bellasyse by invitation ... it was pretty to see how passionately my Lord's daughter loves music, the most that ever I saw creature in my life. -- Pepys' Diary, 18 Jun. 1666
